Mission-critical 3U server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for mission-critical workloads. Four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache support RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

Database and virtualisation teams

This platform suits organisations running large databases, in-memory analytics or dense virtualisation clusters that need four-socket scaling and 6 TB maximum memory. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, all-flash arrays or a smaller 1U form factor should evaluate other platforms.

Four-socket Xeon scaling

The defining specification is the four-socket LGA 3647 design populated with four Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs. This fixes the processor count at the chassis maximum and sets the performance ceiling for licences and workloads that scale by socket.
